"Finally! A fine dining venue in Palmetto on the waterfront!! The new Second Floor delivers an upscale, creative menu in a modern well-designed space. As you'd guess, it is located on the second floor of the Riverhouse Waterfront Restaurant at the end of a pier, adjacent to a marina, right on the beautiful Manatee River. The lobster bisque was exceptional; bu..." Read more

"Excellent choice !!!! Great atmosphere. Beautiful views sitting outside on the deck. Busy place, so make a reservation or plan to wait a bit for a table. Food and service were excellent. Friendly staff. Prompt. Very helpful. Biggest challenge here is parking."

"Last night I was at the Riverhouse! I had the steak tacos 🌮 I'd give that 3* (from Chicago kinda hard to come close) The wings were excellent. The best part of the restaurant was Harrison our bartender. We ate at the bar and he was great! I'd sit at the bar every time.

"I attended the Riverhouse Restaurant with 20 friends. The crab cakes were wonderful but the big surprise was that we could hear each other in spite of the large group. They have very high ceilings and curved walls so that sounds don't reverberate off of hard surfaces."
